But if you're just looking for a peaceful place to relax, this is for you too! My French husband and I are lifelong cyclists, and we’ll be happy to help you discover the best itineraries, including the spectacular gravel roads known as the Strade Bianche, right outside our door. If time allows, perhaps we can even ride together! For food and wine lovers, this is paradise.We live in the Bolgheri region where Super Tuscan wines are made, such as the very famous Sassicaia. I teach Italian cooking classes, sharing recipes passed down through generations. We’ll gladly recommend local wineries, traditional trattorias, and markets where you can experience Tuscany like a local. If you're looking for a memorable stay filled with adventure, relaxation, and authentic experiences, we’d love to host you and help you discover the true essence of Tuscany! About me: My name is Chicca and originally I'm from Naples where I earned my degree in architecture. During my study and after my degree, for over 15 years, I traveled with my bike through many parts of the world,  such as, Alaska, Australia, Ecuador, New Zealand, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and all over Italy and Europe. I was a passionate cycle tourist ! After the birth of my daughter Elsa,  I moved to Tuscany where I live now in Castagneto Carducci on the beautiful countryside of La costa degli Etruschi.
